    I was checking out the schedule for the Open Days next week and was wondering if anyone can tell me roughly how long each of the talks will go on for?

    Long enough for you to realise that it was a waste of time going to the open day!
    Unless you've got a specific course in mind or you need to check out some particular facilities then if i had the choice again I wouldn't have gone...
    You do get a day off school though :D


    I don't know how long the talks go on for. IMO you should look at the course you're planning on doing. Look at the module names and the module descriptions, also don't think cause it's college that a subject might be more interesting.
    That's a mistake i made, I have no business doing Finance modules.

    What pestulance shall befall us this year do people reckon? Personally I think frogs raining from the sky would be kind of cool and biblical. Would also give me a use for that giant net I stole from the local aquarium.

    Heh. We had the fire last time, mumps before that, a bunch of lads with Geiger counters the year before. Any other tales of misfortune?

    Think each lasts for about an hour, never went myself but I can advise you to go to Ken Maddock's thing for chemistry, he'll do explosions and stuff and it's really enjoyable!

    Cool, trying to plan how I can make it to the talk for each course I'm thinking of doing. And I'll try not to walk under any ladders etc before friday and i should be ok! :D

    Last year - Fire

    This year - Godzilla, or at the very least a minor zombie apocalypse

    Eh, there's a marquee!! There's disaster waiting to happen!!

    "Children, see how I demonstrate the power of the chemical world with my big box of chemicals, now I know the marquee is not well ventilated but that shouldn't be an issue. *Fiddles with chemicals*. Child, why are you lying on the floor?? Ask that other child lying beside you to stop shaking like that please!"

    Also, they have signs for Pugin but one of them points into Aula, a condemned building. When will they learn?? Tis' cursed

    This made me chuckle....

    Do me a favour ring them, ask and post how much you were told to go eff yourself :P

    Alternatively we could put together a boards crack team for tours for other boardsies, only problem is it probably wouldn't pass the roost
